I won't let you off the hook.
STORY TIME -
Yesterday I ran into a colleague -
(In my perspective: a Colleague is a Licensed Massage Therapist that i have met, know, like and/or trust.)
Months ago after having a 2 hour conversation with her, it sounded like one particular technique fascinated her.
I mean..
she lit up over the phone.
It even sounded like she was smiling.
Her tone of voice changed to being light, her words flowed.
You could hear the excitement in her voice, the passion growing inside of her.
You could hear that she was sharing a vision with me. Her vision of how she wanted to serve the community. Make an impact.
I started to see it too.
I brought this to light before ending our conversation and leaned into the idea of, this sounds like this is what you were called and meant to do. Please be sure that you follow this.
Fast forward to yesterday -
She had been learning and taking the classes!!! And while sharing about her experience, there it was again.
She lit up and was talking through a smile the entire time. I heard the passion, the enthusiasm, everything.
Then she said something that confused me, something that literally blocked the energy in the room and the flow.
"Now lets just see if I actually can do it."
Wait.. what?
I don't get it. Its there. Its all there. We NEED practitioners like this in our industry, why would there be any doubt of IF, if she can actually do it?
Fear of the unknown. Its been so long that I have felt that way, that I almost forgot what it looked, felt and sounded like. This conversation was a reminder.
"Call me when you get to a point of needing to start spreading the word on what it is that you do." I said.
"Yea, if I don't quit by then." she replied.
"No you won't, I won't let you." I shot back at her.
Your fear of the unknown and your belief in the thoughts associated with it, will lead you to being a very very selfish human being in our world.
You have a skill that changes lives, and because you don't know what to do, or how to do it, or overwhelm yourself with doubts... you don't offer it.
This needs to stop.
I won't let you off the hook.
What thoughts have held you back from wanting to work for yourself and build a clientele that is deserving of your skill?
